Golf club budget gets preliminary approval

HOLLYWOOD- The city commission recently gave preliminary approval to the proposed 1998-99 budget for the Orangebrook Golf and Country Club.

The $2.15 million budget represents a 3.5 percent increase in revenue and a 4.2 percent increase in expenses, said Christine Thrower, director of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts.

Golf Hollywood!, the private company which manages the golf course for the city recommended reinvesting last year's estimated $200,000 profit in maintenance and improvements to the golf course.

David Lottes, vice president of Golf Hollywood!, said a $250,000 program to improve the back nine holes of Orangebrook's west course is scheduled to begin May 1, 1999.

The commission gave initial approval to the budget at its July 15 meeting. The budget is scheduled to be discussed again at the Sept. 2 meeting.

External auditor renews contract with city

HOLLYWOOD- The City of Hollywood recently renewed its contract with external auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers for another year.

The firm will conduct an audit of the city's financial statements for the financial year ending September 1998.

The audit will cost $235,600, the same amount as for the last four years. The city signed an agreement in 1994 which gave officials the option to renew the contract each year until this financial year at the same price.

The contract will be up for consideration again next year.

The city initially contracted with Coopers & Lybrand in 1994 but the firm merged earlier this month with Price Waterhouse.
